COMBINED WINDOW SASH AND SCREEN CONSTRUCTION Application filed May 22,

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in window sashes, and window screens, and aims to provide a combined sliding sash and screen structure. Generally the invention consists of a slidin sash frame within the back side of which are removably mounted screen panels, while within the front side thereof is hingedly arranged a pair of swinging window panels. This obviously permits the cleaning of the window panels both inside and out without the cleaner sitting upon the sill or disposing himself outwardly of the window frame.

Furthermore-the provision of the screen panels in the sash will permit the swinging window panels to be opened at any time while the sash in its entirety is in closed position without the consequent entrance of flies or other insects.

Furthermore the screen panels are removable so that they may be cleaned or repaired or entirely removed from the sash frames during wintertime. A most important object of this invention is to provide such a com-' bination sash and screen structure that may be installed at less expenditure than the installation of the usual sliding sash and additional screen insert units.

lVith the foregoing and other objects in view as the nature of the invention will be better understood, the same comprises the novel form, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings wherein like reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views: 7

Figure 1 is an inside elevation of a window frame equipped with a pair of combined sash and screen structures made up in accordance with the present invention, one of the screen panels of the lower sash unit being partiallyraised.

Figure 2 is a fragmentary inside elevation disclosing the window panels of a lower sash unit in open position.

Figure 3 is a detail longitudinal section through one of the sash units.

Figure 4 is an upper edge elevation thereof. 7

i928. Seria1 No. 279,681.

Figure 5 is an enlarged detailed fragmentary vertical section taken substantially upon the line 55 of Figure 1. In this view however the raised screen panel in Figure 1 is entirely in lowered position, and

Figure 6 is a fragmentary upper edge perspective of one of the units, one of the screen panels being raised entirely thereabove.

Now having particular reference to the drawings, A designates a generally conventional window frame adapted to be arranged within an opening in the building wall in an ordinary manner. Vertically slidably movable within this frame A in the usual manner, and preferably associated with the usual counterbalancing weight are two combined sashand screen units, each of which is des-' ignated generally by the reference character B. Each unit consists of a frame 5 of suit able dimensions. Each frame is preferably constructed of an innerand outer frame member 6 and 7 arranged and properly secured in face to face relation asdisclosed in Figure 3. The outerframe member 1s constructed 8, while the upper horizontal bar of the rear frame member 7 is formed at opposite sides of this partition with longitudinal slots 99, the opposed edges of the partition strip 8 and the vertical sides of the frame member are channeled for slidably receiving suitable screen panels 1010, the upper edges of the lower longitudinal member of said frame member 7 being also channeled at opposite sides of the partition for receiving the lower edges of these screen panels whereby an insect proof joint is provided between said frame members 7 and the edges of these pan-' els. The inner edges of the sides of the inner members 6 of said frame unit 5 terminate in spaced relation with the respective edges of the outer frame member 7, while hingedly mounted thereto are window panels 1111 within which are glass panes '1212, preferably securcd within the panels by molding as more clearly illustrated in Figure 3. The inner edges of these panels 1111 are formed to provide an overlapping joint when the panels are closed, as also illustrated in Fig ure 3.

Any suitable looking or latching means is provided whereby to secure the panels 11-11 in closed condition. At the upper portion of the lower sash unit B is provided with a threaded bolt 13 adapted to be threaded within a threaded opening at the lower end of the upper combined unit so that the units may be secured in tight position within the frame A, and also to prevent the opening of the combined sash and screen units by unauthorized persons outside of the building.

It will thus be seen that I have provided a novel, simple and extremely useful combined sash and screen unit that is well adapted for all the purposes heretofore designated, even though I have herein shown and described the invention as consisting of certain detail structural elements, it is nevertheless to be understood that some changes may be made therein without affecting the spirit and scope of the appended claim.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is In a combined sash and screen of the class described, a frame including inner and outer frame units secured together in face to face engagement, a central vertical partition associated with the outer frame unit, the upper horizontal bar of the outer frame unit being formed with longitudinal through slots on each side of the partition, the opposite edges of the partition strips and the inner vertical sides of the outer frame unit being formed with channels, screen panels removably positioned in the respective pairs of channels through the slots in the upper edge of the outer frame unit, and vertically swinging window panels hinged at their outer side edges to the respective side edges of the inner frame unit.

In testlmony whereof I aflix my slgnature.

JACOB MONIS.
